Background

Mrs. Faradiba Shaikh, a 49-year-old female residing in Mumbai and working as a housewife, noticed unusual swelling in the front region of her lower jaw a few months ago. The swelling seemed abnormal, prompting her to consult Dr. Abdul Hameed, a Maxillofacial Surgeon at the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India (AOMSI), AOCMF. After clinical observation, the prognosis suggested a tumor. Subsequent testing and pathology reports confirmed the diagnosis as Ameloblastoma of the mandibular anterior region.

Solution

Dr. Abdul Hameed, a well-known Maxillofacial Surgeon at Tanjawar Hospital, Mumbai, studied the patient's CT scan images and concluded that a patient-specific mandibular implant was necessary. The Incredible team worked closely with Dr. Hameed to design and finalize the implant, with valuable inputs from both the doctor and the Incredible design team.

The benefits of the customized implant were thoroughly discussed. The implant not only aimed to restore the function of the mandible but also helped in boosting the patient's confidence by restoring facial aesthetics. One unique aspect of the design was that the abutments were incorporated into the mandibular implant, eliminating the need for a separate dental implant surgery.

Quote from Doctor

“Easy to work.”

Conclusion

The implant was manufactured under ISO 13485 guidelines and tested to ensure an accurate fit and utmost safety. Cutting guides and jigs from 3D Incredible helped the surgeon make precise cuts and complete the surgery in one go. Once the resection was done, a customized implant from 3D Incredible was implanted.

The implant was manufactured using Ti6Al4VELI, a biocompatible material, tailored to the patient's anatomical requirements, contour, and bone thickness. This implant, along with the customized cutting jig, reduced the need for further adaptation of standard implants on the operating table, ultimately reducing the time spent in the operating room.

The implant also features a novel C-arm/clamp design on the proximal and distal parts of the plate, ensuring proper holding of the plate to the bone fragment. This design enhances faster recovery post-ECRT surgery, as the entire process was completed in a single surgery.

The implant was made according to the patient's specific anatomical requirements, contour, and bone thickness. It also boasts faster recovery, less invasiveness, and lower risk. As the implant is accurately placed, it is aesthetically perfect, which boosts the mental and physical state of the recipient, allowing her to return to her normal routine life in a shorter time.

At Incredible AM Pvt Ltd, rigorous testing and validation of its plant, equipment, and processes are carried out to ensure the safety and quality of the implant.
